Sohan Madhana developed and stabilized backend features for the core-stack-org/core-stack-backend repository, focusing on WhatsApp bot integration, community onboarding, and robust user session management. Over five months, Sohan built Django-based modules for bot workflows, state machine-driven onboarding, and dynamic community routing, using Python, Django, and REST Framework. He refactored media handling, improved webhook reliability, and introduced configuration-driven settings to support scalable deployments. By resolving merge conflicts and enhancing error handling, Sohan ensured demo-ready stability and reduced onboarding friction. His work delivered a maintainable backend foundation that supports multi-channel messaging, community management, and future extensibility for bot-driven engagement.
